Just topped up the oil in my 75 1.8 with 1 quart of oil because the reading on the dipstick indicated it was almost out of oil, probably a quarter inch of oil. I gave it a full quart, it started right up, and I took it for a cruise. I then managed to stall it getting back up my driveway, and it wouldn’t start. The fuel pump doesn’t whirr up, the oil light doesn’t go on, it won’t crank, but the lights on the rest of the car work. I then took another oil reading and it’s about 3/4 of an inch above max. What do I do? Drain the oil? It won’t start at all, could it be a battery issue?
